On the night of the 21st of November 2009, one of Korea’s music media channel, Mnet, held the Mnet Asia Music Awards ceremony, and invited Hero Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun of Dong Bang Shin Ki to receive the ‘Best Asia Star Award.’ While delivering their thankful speeches, Yoochun said, “I’m grateful for everyone’s support.” Jaejoong said with teary eyes, “I want to thank the fans from all over Asia, and our two friends who were not able to attend. I would like to say, I love you all.” Dong Bang Shin Ki’s fans from all over the world left comments on their forums after seeing this scene, and they expressed that the three’s speeches touched them deeply, and made them tearful.

On the other hand, the group who won ‘Best Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best Male Group’ was 2PM; they also had tears in their eyes while receiving the awards onstage, and expressed their wishes for the return of their leader Jaebeom.

TVXQ’s appearance at the MAMA was surrounded by controversy but even so three members - Youngwoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu made an appearance to greet the fans. According to fans who were there, the boys didn’t have an entourage of stylists, make-up, bodyguards like they normally do.. this time the cassiopeia present did not surround them either, instead they made way for them so that they could leave peacefully and quietly. Here a fan account of a cassiopeia that was present:

she was one of the Cassies who moved out of the way for JaeChunSu as they left.. and she overheard the staff talking.

Staff 1 - “Hey, did you see YoungWoong Jaejoong cry?”Staff 2 - “Of course I did. I saw him crying silently and it was so sad that I felt so bad for him.”Staff 1 - “They must be going through hell.. All three of them lost so much weight..”Staff 2 - “Of course it’s hard for them… Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu were holding back tears..”Staff 1 - “I feel so bad for them..”Staff 2 - “Now that I think about it, it’s the first time I’ve seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry. He used to hold back his tears even when they won the biggest awards. But to see him cry so hard that he didn’t care about what he looked like.. Phew.. I pity them..”Staff 1 - “They’ll survive this well, they’re young.”

+As the three were getting off the stage..The fans started shouting “Miduhyo! Miduhyo!”and YoungWoong Jaejoong apparently couldn’t hold it back anymore and burst into tears..A Cassie overheard some of the staff talkingand they said that they had never seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry so hard before….He cried so hard that his screwed his face up and just let it out, not caring about what he looked like…It hurts me to think of them in such pain…..Also, in the parking lot, someone yelled “I believe in TVXQ!”and the three stopped their car..

+Yesterday, the three boys didn’t have bodyguards with them so the reporters were all over them so the Cassies acted as their bodyguardsAnd when they were leaving on the van that they had borrowedA Cassie stuck a ‘Miduhyo’ sign on the car windowso the three stopped the car. So they could see it more, so more Cassies could stick these signs on their window.And when the van was leaving, the Cassies acted as blockades so that the three could leave safely.Our kind Cassies ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ yuaerebi

According to the blog owner, Changmin was spotted in a grocery store buying tuna, crab, cucumber and other stuff.He was wearing a baseball cap (duh we can see =x), orange jacket (duh we can see too XD) and jeans.

He was looking very happy and she (blog owner) mentioned the obvious: Looks like he must be eating a lot and barely goes out.

Around 03:02, they announce the name of TVXQ (東方神起) as a chosen performer of Kohaku 2009,but interestingly that Mezamashi TV station had already placed a flower on TVXQ's name.So, Mezamashi TV program must have known TVXQ's appearance at kohaku 2009.^^

Bigbang had mentioned many times in their interviews in Japan thattheir wish in Japan is to perform at Kohaku this year.However, they did not make it this year.(In the Mezamashi TV we can spot Bigbang's name on the list.And they had a special "watch" mark in front of their name.)

Everyone knows that Bigbang is a talented performer.It is just being selected to perform at Kohaku is something very special in Japan.Like Jero who made it to perform at Kohaku for the first time with TVXQ last yearhad openly shared his dream in his life was to perform at Kohaku and he cried at Kohaku.

It has been decided that The 60th Annual Kouhaku Utagassen will be held on New Year Eve (2009/12/31 from 7:15pm-11:45pm (8:55pm-9:00pm will be a 5-minute news section), will also be broadcast via satellite and radio).There is a total of 50 artists who will be participating.There are 2 first-timer on the red team, and 6 first-timers on the white team, making it a total of 8 new artists.For your records, the while team won. So far, red team has won 28 times, and white team 31 times.

According to the newspaper above which was posted in 2ch today (a very popular Japanese community forum) and was also pointed by many netizens in poplez, Tohoshinki is confirmed that they will attend 2009 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen!

This is their 3rd confirmed attendance for Japanese year-end events after Nihon TV “Best Hits Song Festival 2009″ and Fuji TV’s “FNS MUsic Festival.
